Live Stoner Chat Back again for another round!

[lazylathe]

I cannot believe i have been away from the forum and growing for so may years now...
Too many life interruptions got in the way and it was just not feasible anymore.

I have been a lurker on the forum over the past years to see what is going on.
It is great to see that the forum has exploded with new members, techniques and ideas!

This time around i will be using a 3X3X6 tent and a 315W Ceramic Metal Halide grow light with Hempy buckets.
I was using LED's and a mix of HPS and MH depending on growth stage but felt that i was not doing so well with the LED's. If you remember i started using the Bysen LED's and the old adage came true again; you get what you pay for!

For the first round and to test the light out and the Hempy's, i will be growing 4 Auto flowers. (Feminized seeds)
Strains chosen were:
1- Auto Blackberry Kush (Dutch Passion)
2- Auto Purple Mazar (Stitch)
3- Auto Trainwreck (Crop King Seeds)
4- Berry Bomb Auto (Bomb Seeds)

Hempy buckets are filled with a 3:1 ratio of Perlite/Vermiculite, washed very well.
Nutes will be Osmocote Plus with the addition of CalMag and i will be using R.O. water.
Going for a super simple, easy to maintain first grow!

If all goes well i will be doing a Photo grow afterwards of Killing Fields and Sannie's Jack!
After that i have some Dragon Seeds that need to be grown!

It's great to be back and once the seeds have sprouted, i will start a journal!

Nice to see you back in action and able to get a journal up! This place has grown dramatically in the just over year I've been here and autos have really found their place in the world, it's awesome.
Sounds like you have a good setup. Excited to see what the 315 does for you and the autos! Welcome back!!!

Excited to see what the 315 does for you and the autos!

Sorry should have been more clear about the CMH.
I am trying a custom made CMH setup with custom horticultural bulbs.
Spectrum seem to match the 315, so we will see what it can do!
I will be posting pics of everything in the journal.
Last time i used CMH they were the Philips Retro White bulbs and they worked very well.

Welcome back!!!

Thank you!! Growing was the one thing that really made me happy! Getting back into it is very relaxing and soothing for me.

Nice to Have you back lazylathe. I look forward to your Journals.

Welcome back lazy! Your going to rock the house with the cmh. Can't wait to see how well you do with that selection

 

[Duggy]

Good to see you back mate...I am testing a pair of Berry Bomb Autos which are doing nicely at the moment..

@lazylathe !!!

Welcome back

aaand​

it's nice to meet you!!

 

[lazylathe]

Thanks for the warm welcome back everyone!!

Had a few issues so far already...
First Trainwreck seed split and then stalled in the pot, so i lost a week there.
Dropped my last 3 beans and all 3 cracked...LOL!!
Popped all of them in peat cubes and i will keep the strongest 2, this brings the tent total to 6 plants.
Luckily i am in smallish pots so hopefully they will all fit in the only tent i have.

3 are under the CMH already and seem very happy with the light!
They are still on a water only diet for a few more days and then light nutes (FloraGro) and hopefully into the Hempy pots next weekend!
The journal will be started once they are transplanted into the hempy buckets with their soil core!

A small sneak peak at two of the three in the tent so far!
